Series ventilator is operated on its internal battery to the point that the internal battery
is completely depleted, the ventilator will shut down. If the ventilator remains in this state, the internal
battery may recharge slightly within a few seconds / minutes and cause the ventilator to automatically
restart and operate for a short period of time. This cycle may repeat several times, depending on the
condition of the internal battery.
